[QUOTE="squeeeeze, post: 1461637, member: 34065"] It had been 2 months and I hadn't heard anything from Hornady yet. I called and finally got the gentleman who took my return. He said they hadn't shot them yet. He did say they just cross sectioned a couple and the jacket thickness looked to be in spec with their parameters. He did bring up the fact that I was trying to "hot rod" them with a hot rod cartridge and that was probably the issue. I informed him this was happening with slower speeds and held together better and grouped better the faster I pushed them. I let him know others were having this issue with the 7mm mag at sub 3000 fps and that's not a "hot rod" cartridge but he still seemed to think it might be so IDK what their limit is on acceptable speeds to shoot them at, but some people are shooting them a fair amount faster. He said they'll try to shoot them soon and let me know. That was about week ago. [/QUOTE]
